I physically see my neurologist tomorrow, but she wrote back to me in my email that I sent to her. She said that it’s she has heard of some of her MS patients getting swelling in the calves, ankles and feet area for some unknown reason. Her only concern is why it came on so suddenly with me and now seems to be an issue. My guess is it was coming on a little slowly but then got really bad…
Amazingly, I actually hate vegetables. I had to get very creative when I was vegan to eat my vegetables. So I got creative. This recipe however I was making for a long time. This is how I got creative getting my daughter to eat vegetables. This is cauliflower mashed potatoes. Very very simple recipe and it taste really good. 1 head cauliflower broken into pieces and boiled until soft 1 onion peeled and boiled with cauliflower 1/4-1/2 cup milk or…
I make this recipe every Thanksgiving. It’s a very simple recipe and very easy to make me again. Yesterday I made the non-vegan way but there’s certain things in the recipe I do change. I’m going to put the actual recipe up and then write what I change. I’ve been making this recipe easily for 20 years. 2lbs carrots boiled in water until soft. I like to use baby carrots. You can actually put in as much as you want…
If you’ve never heard of Jackfruit, it is a vegan meat alternative. It is grown on trees in the fig, mulberry species family, native to southwest India. According to Wikipedia: The flesh of the jackfruit is starchy and fibrous and is a source of dietary fiber. The flavor is comparable to a combination of apple, pineapple, mango, and banana I’ve come across pulled pork type recipes for Jackfruit but haven’t tried them. I finally have the ingredients to make this…

I gave it a good year but now I’m putting on weight and I have no idea why. I joined weight watchers and the first week I lost weight but then the last two weeks, I’ve gained. I track everything. I measure my portions. I even cut out sugar. I don’t get it. So I’m trying something new this week. I’m cutting out the carbs and seeing what happens. I know I sound crazy. I’ve been a vegan for a…
I didn’t make any new vegan recipes this week. I also gained weight at weight watchers. I don’t know how it’s possible but it happened. My veganism may be coming to an end…but so far I have not stopped. Anyway, thought I’d post a song. This was actually my wedding song. I had the wrong “somebody” but I still believe he’ll come along one day. Somebody by Depeche Mode I want somebody to share Share the rest of my life…

I came home from physical therapy, completely spent. I put on the television and there was an infomercial on for the Veggie Bullet. Within 13 seconds I was online checking it out. I use a Cuisinart food processor that I received as an engagement gift. Let’s just say that if I was still married, yesterday, May 25, would’ve been my 21st Anniversary. So the Cuisinart was an engagement gift which was easily received a year before that. It mostly works fine…
I was in the mood for creamed corn. It’s one of those foods I love but don’t eat often. I have to be in the mood for it. Once I get the craving for it, I can eat it for days. Knowing that my can of creamed corn in my cupboard could never be vegan, I looked for a recipe…I found a bunch. Whenever something is vegan, you have to remember it won’t be the same as the original however…
